Glavine signs 1 year, 10.5 Million dollar contract
 

Good lord doesnt this seem rediculously high for someone that will play for only 1 more season? At the most 2 but the guy is very old and throws around 80mph. I dont care if he's a lefty this is just a bad investment IMO. But I guess they have the $$$ to blow so whatever.

Baseball is a joke

Guys with loseing records and ERA's over 5.9 are getting paid huge amounts of money.

Who is "they"?

I don't follow baseball that closely, but it seems to me that Glavine had a good season, winning with guile and smarts.

His skills aren't likely to decline anymore than they have already in the next couple of years.

Mets

Glavine is still solid can still win 15plus games and have a ERA under 4.

The way their salaries are, hell yea, its insane. For the player he's they are loving it.

Hes still better than anything the Royals have...

Wait and see what kind of deal Barry Zito gets.

Hell thats not saying much. Half of the pitchers in this league are better than anything KC has.

I think I saw a stat where the Mets won 24 of the 32 games he started, so that seems like a pretty good signing for them.

Well, at least he's not Gary Matthews Jr.

Glavine was pretty solid last year. NYM are going for a WS"s they can def. make it again next year and will need pitching. Makes me wonder what would've happend if Pedro didnt get hurt.

Oh Well....

Cards lost some key players at the wrong time in the past. Depth is key.

That's not a bad contract at all. Especially since it's only one year.

That's not a bad investment. Bad investments are when you sign 32-year-old players to 4- and 5-year guaranteed contracts.

HE GETS ON BASE A LOT!!!!!

10.5 million for a guy who is a HOF pitcher?

Randy Wolf just got 8 million from the Dodgers. I'd take Tom Glavine every day of the week.

Plus, he's a big club house guy. If Zito does become a Met, having Tom Glavine around to become another tutor type player can never hurt.

I still wouldnt pay him. Even if I had the money.

Well, look in your subject line. it's a 1 year contract.

Second, I heard him on the radio say he wanted to pitch for 2 or 3 more years.

He won as many games this year as Schilling ($13 million) and Mussina ($19 million). His ERA is similar to Zito ($7.9 million), Lowe ($9.5 million).

This is what a big market team pays for a front of the rotation guy.

Heh, I'm quoting myself for the first time...Barry Zito just signed a 7 year $126 million contract with the SF Giants. That's an odd choice cause the Giants don't seem too competitive, but they showed him the $$$

In the ridiculous world of these crazed salaries, if Jason Marquis - who sucked so utterly and completely last year that LaRussa didn't let him throw so much as a single pitch during the entire playoffs - is worth $7 million a year (gotta love the Cubs ROFL ) then Glavine is certainly worth $10.5 million.

Glavine will win 15 to 20 games, and have an ERA around 2.50 or 3.00. Plus he will play gold glove defense for a pitcher, and he can handle the bat pretty well. Not a clubhouse cancer, and does not get hurt on a regular basis (like Pedro). Glavine is also nails in the postseason. Hats off to the Mets, way to take care of the ace of the staff.

The Rocket only played half a year for that much.

Zito signs with the Giants for 7 years, $126 million!

Wow! Just Wow!

Marquis will probably have 5 HRs at windblown Wrigley. so that's worth something :p

Boy..did they get ripped off..Zito sucks ass..
